"Elk Island Public Schools is not piloting the draft K-6 curriculum in Division schools for the 2021-22 school year. Over the next few months, the Division will review the curriculum with groups of teachers to provide feedback to the province on the draft documents and will also develop a Division-level plan to ensure teachers are prepared for implementation in 2022-23. EIPS believes the Division is in the best position to support our teachers in this regard. We’ll wait to see the outcome of the classroom validation process and any updates made as a result of the feedback from Albertans collected in the coming months before the revised curriculum is fully implemented in the 2022-23 school year." —  Mark Liguori, Superintendent, EIPS
